YESTAM is correct. What is a normal maneuvere to us ie 30' bank is a very steep turn to the masses.
This is why there are threads on here smarmily stating how they use patronising terms for turbulence, IE lumps or bumps, during pa's.
You cant have it both ways.
Papers like the Sun project perception and have more influence than a bunch of intolerant sanctimonious pilots.
It is annoying but you must appreciate that despite years of air travel , no aspect of the physics of flying is taught in the national curiculum. Hence the ignorance and the acceptance of laymans interpretations. IE air pockets, pulled up sharpley, dropped from the sky. To the average punter a stall is something your car engine does. Anything else is a crash.
If you cant rise above itdo one of two things. Ignore it or educate people without patronising them , slagging them off or getting on your middleclass high horse.. Its not their fault.
It may come as a shock but if some of you were half as good as you thought you were youd be brilliant.
Dont forget you were not born with a knowledge of flying .(in many cases)...Daddy bought it for you.
